BiomeModes v1.0.0 – Initial Release
BiomeModes is a configurable Paper plugin that assigns different gameplay modes to different biomes. As players move through the world, the plugin automatically detects the biome they are in and activates the gamemode assigned to that biome. This allows every biome to provide a unique survival experience without requiring separate worlds or servers.
For example, a server owner can configure:
- Desert → Lifesteal
- Taiga → Headsteal
- Deep Dark → Hardcore
- Mushroom Fields → Keep Inventory
- Ocean → Adventure
Every biome-to-gamemode mapping is fully configurable, allowing server owners to create their own gameplay combinations.
Features
- Automatic biome-based gamemode switching
- Fully configurable biome-to-gamemode mappings

- Offline and online player revival using player heads
